I think of my peace paintings as one long poem, with each painting being a single stanza.

Pop art is the American Dream, optimistic, generous, and naive!

Some people like to paint trees. I like to paint love. I find it more meaningful than painting trees.

My goal is that LOVE should cover the world.

Love is a dangerous commodity-fraught with peril.

I've always been fascinated by numbers. Before I was seventeen years old, I had lived in twenty-one different houses. In my mind, each of those houses had a number.

I realize that protest paintings are not exactly in vogue, but I've done many.

I was the least Pop of all the Pop artists.

I speak, I speak, and truth at that. Writers are a curious breed: brooding, fickle, alternately loving and hating their work—and each other. You’re my friend? Don’t pick up that pen!

No achievement is too small if it leads to another.

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.

Words cannot express as music does, that unsayable grace which cannot be defined. It leaps like light from mind to mind.

All the strength and succour you want is within yourselves. Therefore make your own future. "Let the dead past bury its dead." The infinite future is before you.

Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together

Possession, it is true, crowns exertion with rest; but it is only in the illusions of fancy that it has power to charm us.
